Switch Rods are great allowing you to stick with what you already know about casting a single hand rods by giving you a bit more reach and line control. By putting on a line weight 2-3 sizes heavier (9/10 weight) you can nymph for steelhead all day long or swing smaller traditional patterns with a longer leader.

The Rod: Though the switch rod is a relative newcomer in the fly fishing market, it’s made a lasting impact on the world of steelhead fishing. Designed to act as both a single-hand and double-hand fly rod, most of today’s switch rods are best described as a compact two-handed fly rod and they offer a smart solution for any angler wanting to join the two-handed revolution.
